Rain, rain and rain

Being able to talk to someone who understands your problems is such a satisfying and releasing feeling. I am a huge believer in letting go of your emotions and feelings to someone. Communicating. Its a beautiful exchange between two people who know what eachother are going through and can help one another out.

I say this because I had such an unexpected run-in with a girl Sarah from my high school this afternoon. We use to walk home together all the time but I had not seen her much since we left school. I came across her in uni and we exchanged the polite questions into eachothers lives and uni work and etc. She invited me to her birthday party at her new appartment. I remembered that she was a Scorpio. Sarah then out of the blue asked me about my sister, to which i tersely answered. I didn't really know if she wanted to hear about everything that is going on in respects to that, I mentioned a few things though and it launched off from there. Turns out she had thought about my sister and I earlier on in the week and she also shared with me concern over her brother and family. It was really touching and truly felt like the universe had brought together our collision. We stood in the light rain and grey sky, in the middle of the path, understanding what eachother is going through and it was like this weight had been lifted, because for both of us it was relief. I became a tad emotional and had a few tears, but hugs always make it better. It was all very interesting, I shall message her very soon.

I went looking for a Jason today to interview for my assignment. Jason sells the "Big Issue" in the city, the magazine homeless or 'people in need' sell so they can earn some income and hopefully get their lives on track. I met Jason at Imi's bowling party, I think he was just there hanging, on his own, for some reason. I guess just to be out and about. I was drunk and just chatting it up to anyone, so ofcourse he was included in my conversations. I've seen him around the city while he's selling the magazine and we always have a great chat, he is just the most pleseant, uplifting person. A total inspiration. For all he's been through, he has so much happiness and joy. It's wonderful. So I thought I could interview him and he said yes, "Any excuse to talk about myself," what a darling. But I keep missing him and I feel bad because I was late to meet him on Monday but I had no way of contacting him. In my search for him today I met Richard. This lovely man who always asks me for money for this kids charity, though I've never give any to it I decided I would today cause he always asks. So we talked a little and he is such a sweet man with such kind eyes too. I asked if he didnt mind being a back up plan for my interview hehe he was all nervous and said he doesn't sound good on tape. I reassured him.

I thought to my self later on, am I talking to these people just cause I am using them for my assignment? I think someone cynical would say yes. But I know who I am and really don't think that that is what I am doing. I love my conversations with Jason and meeting Richard today, there is something so open and ungarded about talking to them, nothing pretentious, just good modest people, doing something for their lives. It's refrshing and really enlightening.

So didn't go to the gym, instead ate a lot with Karen. Saw clothes I know I shouldn't buy. Ohhhhh got my tickets and itinerary for Bali. It's been a good day. And there's something really cool about grey rainy days. Its like got this edgy trendy feel. Can a weather be trendy?
